any update @Tex1492 ?

Try arbitration since it's Synchrony. I filed an MTC with the court and just got a letter from the attorney that they are going to file a non-suit without prejudice. I'm guessing they really don't like going through the arbitration process.

Just checked and there was an order issued yesterday.

Thanks for the info, is there an example of the demand for arbitration to send directly to JDB out of court? I have only seen the MTC that you have to file with the court.

What is the procedure to request arbitration before a suit is filed? Have you had success with this?

Update: This morning I checked my mail and received a letter from Rausch Sturm. It is dated 8/1/19 and references the debt that they already are suing me for. They mention nothing about the lawsuit in the letter. Just offering a payment plan for the full amount. Should I just ignore this letter and continue filing for the discovery request?

Can anyone help with a template of the discovery request?

Cbrockett do you have an update? I also live in Fort Bend County and recently sued by PRA.

Update: I submitted a MTC to the court. Do I have to wait to get an answer or update from the court before filing with JAMS?

@texasrocker I went by the office of the JP yesterday and learned I just need to submit a motion to request discovery. What do I need to include in this discovery request?

any update on this case?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I checked this morning and an order was updated. I have attached what it says. It says it's an order to control discovery and schedule. Order.docx

I'm hoping to hear if someone else has received a summons with Discovery already being asked for. I thought it was odd that he received the petition along with first discovery requests. My own suit by the same law firm was sent differently. I'm hoping we still have a chance to try arbitration.

Hello. Before finding this site my husband was served for a lawsuit by PRA. I tried to respond using the attached form. Really didn't know what I was doing, but I wanted to avoid a default judgment. Now, the answer was accepted and the newest update online is there is a bench trial scheduled for 2-11-20. What do you all suggest my next move be? Should I try to file a MTC for arbitration? Original Creditor: Synchrony Bank (SAMS CLUB) Amount: $1,301.59 He was served in person at home. Account opened Oct 2013. Last payment made April 2017. We live in TX. In the summons, there is a section about discovery and they are requesting a lot of information. I've included some snips of the summons. What is our next move? I didn't think they would request discovery from us. Is this the norm? Civil Answer-redacted.pdf Snips of Summons.docx

Thank you, I just filed this morning and I will contact the court to ask about discovery.
